I swam a PB in the first leg of a relay. This meet was 11 days ago, is it too late to achieve this accomplished time? If not, what can I do?
Thanks
BTW, (different topic), the event ranking database has an error in it where splits from the next shorter distance have been entered for a particular meet (i.e., 58 seconds is the #1 time for a 200 free).
I think it's too late:
103.18 Official Time
103.18.1 An official time shall be achieved in a USMS-sanctioned competition or a

B An initial distance within a longer event or relay, provided the swimmer:

(2) Makes the written request prior to the swim for relay leadoff splits and
for initial backstroke distances in individual backstroke events,
(3) Completes the initial distance with a legal finish and
(4) Completes the event without being disqualified.
